She's an assassin, but more than that, she's one of the commander's collectors. When a debt goes unpaid, with a flip of a sand dial, the commander calls upon Venus and Alto to reclaim what she's owed. When a collection goes wrong and Venus accidentally kills their chieftain, the village of Nordfast rallies against Peyka demanding war. When the fault falls on Venus, Venus finds her own sand dial has been flipped and she must now set forth on a perilous journey against time. When all hope seems lost, she finds herself questioning who she really is, what she really stands for, and who it is she must become in order to survive. But, is it possible to change the fate of someone that thrives in darkness? [This story is a work in progress. I simply write, post, and save the editing for later. Expect a lot of mistakes.
